Verdicts
Diadem Edge 18K V2
Diadem's 18K weave measures at the top end for spin without the harsh feedback most thermoformed elongated paddles carry. It is the balanced option in a category full of specialists.
Honolulu J6CR Crystal Blue Endurance Surface
The J6CR shape, core and handle with Honolulu's Crystal Blue Endurance Surface. Honolulu publishes the same weight (8.0-8.2 oz), swing weight (111-116) and twist weight (6.2-6.7) ranges for both versions, so the face is the change.
